February 18, 2011 We will not publish next week! C3 asked if we would send out the newsletter on Tuesday starting on March 1st! Mary Ann and Ronda will be delighted. Ronda's Corner
Welcome to the final "Friday" Corner. The thinking behind the date change is that Friday afternoons are hard to find time to read the newsletter and by Monday it is buried so far down in your inbox that it gets forgotten.
I want to use my corner this week to talk about something that came up at yesterday's C3 meeting - How do you address your interlibrary loan envelopes? Please share this information with whomever sends your ILL's through the BOCES mail.
Whenever possible, please put the name of the person to whom you are sending the book.
It is VERY important to put the EXACT name of the school it needs to be delivered to ie:CattLVElementary orCATTLV Intermediate. If the envelope saysCatt LV, it is a guessing game. Every school has a separate BOCES bag that all its mail gets sorted into. For clarification, look at the CASLS directory. It is broke down by district first, then by the different schools in that district. Manytimes, these schools are in completely different parts of the district and sometimes in completely different towns. The Catt LV schools are a good example. CattLV Elementary is in Cattaraugus and CattLV Intermediate is in Little Valley , but they are the same district.
A great resource for helping out the ILL process is your CASLS directory. It has the name of the LMS and what the name of their school is and the days they are there, if shared. It will help to ensure that we can give the fastest possible assistance to our students and faculty by eliminating the book going to the wrong place first.
Thank you everything you do to make everyone's day just a little better.
Dear Teacher/Librarian:
We have been getting more and more requests to add graphic novels to our TumbleBook collections.
And, as always, we have responded.
Take a look at our brand new read-along graphic novel demo by clicking on the link below. It is the first of many we will be adding to the TumbleBookLibrary and TumbleReadables collection. http://tumblebooks.com/swap/RampRats_GraphicNovelDemo.swf
Here's your chance to let us know which titles you would like to see us license. We would also love to get your feedback on our format and what you think about having graphic novels available for your students and patrons.
Just reply to this email with your feedback and you will be entered in a draw to win a brand new iTouch.
The deadline is February 28, 2011.
We are very excited about this new Tumble feature and want to know if you are too!!
Happy Tumbling!
